Community Television Board of Directors 09/28/2026

The Community Television Board of Directors of CTV Santa Cruz County met on September 28, 2026. The board approved the consent agenda, including prior meeting minutes and July–August financial reports, as recommended by the finance committee. The executive director reported that CTV had received its 2026–27 county contract; no contract value was stated. A possible budget adjustment may return for consideration after staff review an expense that was higher than expected. The board also approved a resolution to replace the executive director as an authorized representative on the Charles Schwab account. A similar resolution for Bank of America accounts was presented, but the transcript does not clearly capture its vote.

The board discussed the building’s listing for $2.75 million and CTV’s lease, which runs through March 2035 with two five-year renewal options. Members emphasized documenting HVAC costs and balances for any future ownership transition. An equipment inventory removed about $16,000 in used-value equipment from the property list, while 40 cameras are expected to be added. Staff also raised whether to donate or sell about 50 older iPads; no decision was made, and the issue may go to the finance committee. No new purchase award or procurement approval was identified.
